Last week the Department of Justice, joined by the Department of Education, opened a new front in the fight over affirmative action, announcing an investigation into whether Yale discriminates illegally against Asian-American applicants.

Dae Joong Yoon, Board President of KRC and current Co-Director of the NAKASEC who is currently on a year-long sabbatical leave, has been named as one of the FD200 awardees under "The Abolitionists" category for his work in community organizing and movement building in the Korean American, immigrant community and fighting against anti-immigrant legislation.

(Media Advisory) Students from the University of California, Irvine (UCI) and residents of the city will join forces at the Irvine City Council meeting this evening, to reject what they view as a “Trump-inspired attack on minorities in Orange County.” “Will Irvine’s city council side with a racist agenda that separates families and dehumanizes people of color? Enough is enough. Irvine city council needs to make clear whether they stand with Trump’s hatred, or they stand with their own community in Irvine,” said Catherine Tran, who is a third year Asian American Studies Major. “We need our city council to say NO to hate, and be an example, for our youth, for our county, and yes for the rest of the country.”

After 36 days and 1,784 miles, the Dream Riders have arrived in San Diego and finished the #Journey2Justice bike tour on September 5th, the one year anniversary of President Trump rescinding DACA.
